The three-day, $3.74 million campaign, which ends onSunday, was run by the Health Ministry, the United NationsChildrens Fund UNICEF and the World Health Organization (WHO)and is aimed at stopping polio before it spreads.
Angola this month identified three new cases of the disease-- two in the capital Luanda and one in the western province ofBenguela -- the first such cases since 2001.
The diagnoses, along with a new outbreak of polio inIndonesia, were a setback to the WHO which has campaigned tostop the global spread of polio by the year‘s end.
